It's 2015: It's also a new year with new opportunities

摘要

It seems most of us take a moment in late December or early January to consider how quickly the last year has gone and, perhaps, begin to make plans for the next. It doesn't need to be an elaborate plan; it can be as simple as realizing the course you are on is working well but may need a few tweaks. However, it might be that the world is caving in and you need a superhero to change the course you are traversing. When you begin to objectively analyze the path you are taking, try to remember a quote often attributed, correctly or otherwise, to Albert Einstein: "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." Therefore, if you are disappointed with where you are or the results you've been getting, maybe it's time to change what you're doing. Before I suggest just one thing to change, let me give you a bit of history. In 1970 the first "Earth Day" was celebrated and brought 20 million Americans (about 10 percent of the population) out into the spring sunshine for peaceful demonstrations in favor of environmental reform. It heightened aware- ness of what was happening to the environment and eventually led to the Federal Clean Water Act of 1972 and the establishment of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. As it relates to plumbing, water use was not on the radar.
